My Kind of Valentine

I have always thought it a little silly to be someone’s Valentine only 1 day out of the year. I feel someone should “Valentine” me all 365 days of the year (could be why I’m not married now) and not just “remember” me 1 day out of the year.

In the park behind my apartment, there are several benches all around the 2 mile loop. This is the only one which is something other than a sturdy, wooden bench. On it is a plaque…..

It’s a bench set out to remember an individual and their dog. What makes it even more special is this….

There is a crepe myrtle planted next to the bench. And it’s decorated for Valentine’s Day.

This is the kind of Valentine I want to be to someone. Everyday, in all kinds of weather, sturdy and offering a place of rest.

Happy Valentines all year round..I came across an alternative name for this day: Friend Day! and in Guatemala: Secret Friend Day1 I see over at Jeanne's blog that she does these 'guerrila valentines' and just leaves them for people to find. Reminds a bit of Amelie..anyhow..here is a big Hug from me to thee and it is also said that Valentine has his feet in Spring..so may it come soon!Blessings.LN

About Me

Retiring after 34 years in the airline industry, I found myself in Montana with my youngest daughter and a new grand daughter. Then came the oldest daughter and her partner, buying us a house for us all to live in. Then came the house fire and now we are rearranging our lives and planning a move back to North Carolina in 2018. So it will be 5 years of Zone 4 gardening before I get back to my Zone 7 comfort zone.
